Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Nephrocutaneous fistula is a rare complication, often associated with severe renal or perirenal infections.
  • Renal calculi (kidney stones) can lead to obstruction and infection, potentially causing fistulous tracts.

Observation:

  • An unusual case of an isolated nephrocutaneous fistula is presented.
  • The fistula was secondary to renal calculi and complicated by a perirenal infection.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the extent of the renal and perirenal involvement.
  • CT imaging provided detailed characterization of the disease process, aiding in diagnosis and management planning.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering nephrocutaneous fistula in complex renal infections.
  • Computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing and assessing the extent of nephrocutaneous fistulas.
